Stretched Bar LCD Display Features

A stretched bar LCD display, or stretched bar monitor, provides a wide, narrow screen for a shelf edge or retail fixture. The shelf-edge display can present prices, short product information and promotional graphics alongside merchandise, with the layout matched to the selected screen size and resolution.

Standard and Custom LCD Screen Formats

Standard screen sizes are 23.1, 35 and 47.1 inches. Custom-size options are also available for fixtures and display layouts that need a different format. The physical length, height and mounting arrangement matter alongside the diagonal screen measurement.

A stretched LCD display uses a different aspect ratio from a regular poster screen. Native resolution and the active display area are selected with the screen format. Those values give the designer the correct dimensions for product images and text.

Illustration: Stretched bar LCD screens show coffee, cereal and juice prices in wide banners and separate promotion panels.

Content Layouts for a Stretched Screen

The stretched format suits a line of prices, a product comparison or a sequence of short promotional messages. Each part of the layout can sit close to the corresponding merchandise. Larger lettering and a limited number of elements keep the strip readable at shelf distance.

Artwork is prepared for the chosen screen resolution. A standard portrait poster can be redesigned into a horizontal composition, with the product image, price and short message given their own space. This uses the shape of the screen without distorting the original image.

Commercial LCD Configuration Options

The range is intended for commercial display use and offers a wide viewing angle. Available configurations include 24/7 operation, HDR support and dust-resistant, anti-static construction. The selected panel and player determine the available picture and playback functions.

Each size has its own detailed specification. Panel resolution, dimensions and component-life figures should be read with the selected model. The model specification provides the exact pixel dimensions for preparing content.

Shelf-Edge Displays for Retail Promotions

A shelf edge LCD display can show the name, price or main feature of a product beside the shelf. It can also introduce a promotion or draw attention to a new item. The message stays close to the merchandise rather than appearing on a distant store display.

A stretched bar display can sit along a shelf, within a product fixture or above a group of merchandise. Retailers can use it for feature comparisons, brand messages and changing promotions. The format is particularly useful where the display needs width but has limited vertical space.

Choosing the Screen Size and Resolution

Measure the available width, height and depth of the fixture before selecting the screen. Confirm the active display area and native resolution for that size, then prepare a sample with actual product names and prices. A stretched LCD display needs artwork laid out for its proportions.

For a conventional rectangular screen, see our indoor digital signage. For a display with its own base, compare floor-standing digital signage.

Stretched LCD Display FAQs

Can one screen show information for several products?

Yes, the artwork or application can divide the horizontal display into several areas. Align those areas with the merchandise and allow enough space for each product name, price and message.

What information is needed for a custom size?

Provide the fixture dimensions, required active display area, mounting space and quantity. A photo or drawing and sample artwork help us review the screen format and configuration.

Can I use a normal poster file?

The content should be adapted to the selected screen’s aspect ratio and resolution. Rebuilding the layout keeps text readable and avoids stretching product images.

Will prices update automatically from my store system?

Automatic price updates require compatible software and a connection to the store’s data system. That integration is separate from the display hardware.

Do all sizes have the same resolution?

No single resolution is applied to every standard and custom size. The selected screen specification defines its native resolution and active display area.

Can the display run throughout the day?

Commercial configurations support 24/7 operation. The final screen and player specification defines the operating conditions for the selected model.
